Night on the tiles

Share definition Flag
A night on the tiles refers to pubs in Sydney Australia. There was a law many years ago that mandated closing of the pubs at 6 pm. The men working locally got off work at 5 pm and needed to drink as much beer as they could in 1 hour. If they lost their spot at the bar to use the toilet, they would lose their chance to drink... causing them to relieve themselves where they stood. After time, the wood foundation of the pub smelled really bad and the wood rotted. The pub owners did repairs and put ceramic tiles up where needed... so they could hose down the waste ... thus drinking heavily.. and a night on the tiles

Imagine you have food poisioning so bad that it is not a good idea to leave the bathroom for fear of not making it back in time. You are running a fever and you find that laying on the cold tiles of the bathroom are a welcome discovery to try and help lower your fever while also being ready for the next squirt that comes out of whatever orifice your sickness chooses to come out of. Might as well clean the floor as best as you can and grab a pillow, this is going to be a long night on the tiles.
Last night I got food poisioning and spent the night on the tiles.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
